Here is the honest situation. The FFIEC IT Examination Handbook is what examiners use to assess a financial institution's technology and information security, across its Management, Information Security, Business Continuity, Audit, Operations, Development and Acquisition, Outsourcing and Architecture booklets. Examiners expect board oversight, a risk-based security program, tested continuity, independent audit, controlled operations and managed third parties, and they expect you to evidence them. An institution that runs these well but cannot show the governance, the risk assessments, the testing or the findings tracking is exactly where institutions fall short at examination.
This Kit removes the guesswork. It is the FFIEC IT examination domains written as adopt-ready controls you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence an examiner examines.
What you get, the moment you buy
Grounded in the FFIEC IT Examination Handbook, with its IT governance and management, information security, business continuity, audit, operations, development and acquisition, outsourcing and architecture domains called out. Editable Word and Excel files.
What one control looks like
This is establishing IT governance and oversight, where the examination begins. All 18 are built to this depth.
Why this is not another template pack
- The evidence is the point. A control you cannot evidence is a finding waiting to happen. This tells you what an examiner examines and where institutions fall short, for every domain.
- Governance, security and resilience built in. The board oversight, the risk-based security program, tested continuity, independent audit and third-party risk are written into the controls, the substance the Handbook expects.
- Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
- It compounds. The Handbook aligns with GLBA safeguards, NIST and your wider security program, so this work feeds your whole control environment.
Who buys this
Banks, credit unions and their technology service providers, and the IT, security, risk and audit leads who own FFIEC examination readiness. Whether it is a first pass or a pre-examination tune-up, you save weeks and walk in with governance, security, resilience, audit and third-party risk structured.
Common questions
Is it really editable? Yes. Word and Excel files you own and adapt. No portal, no subscription.
Is this legal or examination advice? No. It is an implementation toolkit grounded in the Handbook. For a specific matter consult counsel or your examiner; this gets your controls and evidence in order fast.
Does it cover business continuity? Yes. A BIA-driven continuity program and testing recovery are built as controls.
Does it cover third-party risk? Yes. Lifecycle third-party and outsourced technology risk management is built as a control.
